I have two tanks....one a 29 semi aggressive/very active. The other a 20 slightly more peaceful tank. I'd like some Cory cats AND a clown pleco. I'd prefer a larger school of cities in the 29gallon. Which means he clown pleco would be introduced to the 20gallon.
Will a clown pleco work in a 20 gallon? Would they ever be aggressive to the rest of the community? (Glofish & Whiteskirt Tetras)??

A single clown should be fine in a 20. I've never had any that became aggressive, but make sure to target feed it with veggies and wood. Hungry plecos will go after anything they can.

Clowns are pretty peaceful in my experience. They do require driftwood in theit diets though, so make sure to supply that. They stay small enough for a 20 gal in my opinion. I think you'll be ok.
